Foothills Community Park
Flatirons-view off-leash area where paragliders land next door
About this park
A 65-acre park at the base of the Flatirons with a fenced off-leash area, pond, and trails that ramp from flat loops into real foothills hiking. Reviewers call it the most complete park in Boulder: drinking water, restrooms, playground, and paragliders landing on the grass next to your dog.
Amenities
Foothills Community Park reviews
What visitors consistently sayReviewers single out the Flatirons backdrop and the unusual mix of amenities under one roof: a real dog park, playgrounds, community gardens, sports fields, and trail connections into the foothills. The paraglider landings on sunny days get repeat mentions as the park's most Boulder thing.
Best for
Before you go
The main park trails require dogs on leash; the fenced off-leash area is a defined section, not the whole property. Parking is generous and rarely a problem, but come early on weekends if you want the hiking trails to yourself.
